Differences from the anime

This section is in need of attention.

The following section does not fit satisfactory wiki standards. It may be missing information, containing unconfirmed speculation outside of the speculation section, or have information that is outdated, in need of a rewriting, condensing, expansion, etc. If you wish to help fix up this section, please contribute on the editing page here.

General

Sayaka's hair pins are also changed during her transformation, they're now in the shape of a fortissimo sign.
- In Italian, fortissimo means very strong, bright, tough/severe. In the music world, fortissimo is signed as ff and indicates that the piece should be played very loudly.
Sayaka's face is concealed more often.
Kyoko has more variety of food in each scene she is in. She is seen eating green tea and strawberry pocky in addition to her usual chocolate variety.
- The waffle during her binoculars scene has been replaced with a French cream sandwich cookie.
- The taiyaki she eats as she's fighting Sayaka in Episode 5 has been replaced with a similar bear-shaped pastry.
- The blue popsicle she eats at the end of Episode 7 has been replaced with an orange one.
- Snacks are sold around theaters which collaborated by Madoka Magica and Yaokin who makes "Umai-Bo", that is original of "Ummai-Bo" which Kyoko has.
SHAFT redraws a lot of the backgrounds.
A new music score by Yuki Kajiura was produced, replacing a lot of the original music. In addition, Mami got a new version of "Credens justitiam" named "Mirai" (meaning "future") by Kalafina. Kalafina also produced a new version of "Magia" named "Magia [quattro]" and a new version of "Sagitta luminis" named "Hikari Furu" (meaning "light falling").

Sayaka gets a new transformation sequence that takes place underwater.
Two of Mami's transformation sequences were changed.
Mami's room became more lovely and has a loft.
Homura and Madoka sitting on chairs together in an open field. Chairs have a significance with the Madoka animated franchise.

Eternal

A detailed comparison between the second movie and the series can be viewed here on Tumblr.
Oktavia's barrier has new runes that read, "Desiderantes Affectibus". Summis desiderantes affectibus (Latin: "Desiring with supreme ardor") was a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent VIII on December 5, 1484. The bull was written in response to the request of Dominican Inquisitor Heinrich Kramer for explicit authority to prosecute witchcraft in Germany, after he was refused assistance by the local ecclesiastical authorities. The bull recognized the existence of witches.
- The bull, which synthesized the spiritual and the secular crimes of witchcraft, is often viewed as opening the door for the witchhunts of the early modern period.
The "LOOK AT ME" posters were re-added to the movie version. They were removed from the Blu-ray version of the TV series.
When Kyoko's soul gem explodes, there's a hidden frame of the "and I'm home" picture.

Trivia

On October 2, 2012 Mezamashi TV aired a feature on the first movie, showing scenes from the movie OP, new music, as well as new backgrounds and transformation sequences. (Clip is unavailable)
"Luminous" has become a slang term that refers to the cheek rubbing scene from the OP.
- This kind of pose is tagged as (っ´ω`(´ω`c)ﾙﾐﾅｽ on pixiv. Those last 4 characters are the katakana for "Luminous".
Beginnings and Eternal grossed over 11 billion yen in the box office in total.[2]
